The average American family directly consumes nearly 110,000 gallons of water each year, and if you include water used for producing food, energy, and consumer goods, that total jumps to 1.9 million gallons annually! However, a single 55-gallon rain barrel can save up to 1,300 gallons of water every year and with the use if rain Barrels, it can benefit both our communities and the planet! Benefit Both Communities and Our Planet By not only provided clean, untreated water for your gardening and cleaning but ALSO reduce the water bills that we all grudgingly pay. Lastly, using less water just helps us manage a global resource!
